Annaberg... a little late...

My second week here in Austria was spent in the Alps. I posted some skiing videos but I never really posted any other pictures or videos. Here is a quick over view of the Alps.

  • Lots of snow...lots and lots and LOTS OF SNOW! 

(that is a car...yes a car)

  • Exhausting. Skiing everyday, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, walking....etc

(exhausting but fun)
  • The houses were like a fairytale



  • Crazy. They have this thing called the "Waterslide" and its where (usually guys) skiiers and snowboarders ski in shorts and t-shirts, or shirtless into a pool of water. Its hard to explain, I have a video.

(Sophia, her cousin Leah and I, observing these crazy people)

A Video of these Crazy People

  • Getting Discovered/becoming famous ;) So while in Annaberg I had the opportunity to be a part of a commercial. It was filmed at the ski hill with some famous boxer who will be starring on Austria's "Dancing with the Stars. Basically all we did was take a few photos, and a take of us "learning to ski", here is the photo:
(the guy in the green snow pants is the famous boxer)



  • Beautiful and Magical, especially at night with all the streetlights....I would go for walks listening to music and the snow would be falling softly, and you could see the lights on in the houses, sometimes you could catch a glimpse of people laughing and eating dinner. But outside the world feels so infinite. I have this thing for streetlights. At night when it has just rained and there are reflections everywhere, or when it is snowing if you stand right underneath the street lamp and look up into the snow it feels like you are in a tunnel of stars. So cool.
